PARENTS:
IMPORTANT SCHOOL BUS SAFETY
ALERT
HELP US PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
AS THEY TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL
Certain types of children't
clothing can create a hazard as your child gets off the school bus.
Especially dangerous are:
Long, dangling jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings
Long backpack straps
Long
scarves or other loose clothing
Such
clothing can be caught in the bus handrail, door,
or other equipment as the child
gets off the bus.
In recent years, a number of children
across the U.S.
have had their clothing caught
as they exited the bus.
Several of these children were
dragged by the bus and then killed when the bus ran over them.
Please take the time to check your
children's clothing to make sure it is safe.
Remove drawstrings from clothing
whenever possible -
at least, cut off drawstring tabs
and knots.
Also, please talk with your child
about the following safety rules:
Stay away from the Danger
Zones around the bus.
Don't try to pick up something
dropped near the bus, the bus driver might not see you.
Remember that other motorists
don't always stop for a stopped school bus
use extreme caution whenever
getting on or off the bus.
- SCHOOL BUS SAFETY IS A TEAM
EFFORT -
NOTHING IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN A CHILD'S
LIFE.
